What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 (€798/m²), the fully renovation-needed 124 m² house likely requires about €86,800 in works, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,498/m² versus a €678/m² local baseline. The 600 m² private garden and independent setting add appeal, but do not offset the large renovation-adjusted premium.
More on the house and the area
A generously sized country house with attractive local-stone walls, a private garden of about 600 sqm, and plenty of outdoor space. The main living level appears functional but very dated, while the lower level is unfinished utility/workshop space, so this is a substantial renovation project rather than a ready-made dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €44,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The listing says the property is completely to be renovated, despite the upper floor appearing furnished and usable.
- Only one bathroom is shown, and the lower level is a rough workshop/storage area with exposed services.
- The roof, wiring, plumbing, insulation, and structural condition should be professionally checked.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 58/100The area sits on the low hills between the Val di Chiana and the Valdichiana Senese, with a farmed landscape of arable fields, olive groves and scattered woods. The nearest river landscape is the Canale Maestro della Chiana and the reclaimed plain of the Val di Chiana nearby. Siena and Arezzo are the nearest provincial cities used for services and rail connections, and Sinalunga, Foiano della Chiana and Monte San Savino are the nearest larger local centres. Lucignano itself is known for its concentric medieval street plan, and the wider area is known for mixed agriculture and olive oil.
